COMAP, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, is a group of mathematicians and teachers dedicated to helping students learn by showing how mathematics is put to work in their lives.
This is the most effective and engaging textbook available for showing mathematics at work in areas with a direct impact on our lives.
